At least three deputies and a motorist in Sacramento and Placer counties were shot Friday morning in separate incidents and law enforcement officials were scrambling from the Arden area to Auburn in search of a suspect believed to be responsible for the carnage.
Officials confirmed the incidents were the result of the same suspect. The mayhem began with the shooting of a Sacramento sheriff’s deputy at about 10:27 a.m., and was followed by the shooting of two Placer County sheriff’s deputies about an hour later in Auburn.
